Just in Time for Christmas?

The good news, I finished all my Christmas crafts in time for Christmas.  Yay!  The bad news, it took me until now to actually post any of them.  At least I don’t have to worry about anyone seeing their presents before Christmas.  Anyway, time to share all fruits of my labor. First up is the ornaments, a yearly tradition for me.  I made two batches this year just like last year (see Christmas...

‘Tis the Season…

…For procrastination.  Christmas is barely two weeks away and I haven’t started crafting yet.  Luckily I don’t need to make nearly as much things this year as compared to other years thanks in part to the all the 5 a Week crafting I did.  Many of those crafts make great little gifts. Even so, there are still a few things I need to make.  So here’s the list: Christmas Craft List #5 Donuts Skirt...

Catching Up: A Late Costume Post

Now, nearly a month after Halloween, I will finally share my Halloween costume.  Just because I can, plus it came out well. It started out with two different ideas.  First I had some pretty fabrics I got for Christmas last year that I wanted to use for something.  Second, the fabrics screamed fairy to me so that would be the way to go, except I didn’t want wings.  I was a fairy last year with some...
